Proprioceptive stimulation is a holistic technique which eliminates or greatly reduces debilitating pain in the muscles and joints. Rothbart Proprioceptive Therapy uses proprioceptive stimulation to eliminate or greatly reduce the postural distortions and associated musculoskeletal pain generated from Rothbarts Foot or the PreClinical Clubfoot Deformity.
A tactile stimulation is applied to the bottom of the foot
This stimulation generates a signal that is sent to the cerebellum (the balance/postural center of the brain)
Acting on this signal, the cerebellum initiates global postural correction, foot to jaw
This correction in posture (e.g., joint and muscle alignments) facilitates the body's readjustment towards a state of homeostasis (maintenance of a constant and stable condition).
Chronic body problems are resolved.
